Department of Curriculum and Instruction PhD student Darren LaScotte, alum Cory Mathieu (’21 PhD, current assistant professor at University of Wisconsin–Green Bay), and Assistant Professor Sam David recently published an edited volume with Springer. New Perspectives on Material Mediation in Language Learner Pedagogy is in print and available now.

The book includes novel and diverse perspectives on the role that materials play in language pedagogy. It demonstrates how pedagogical materials mediate classroom teaching and learning, a subject that has been up to now under-researched.

Readers will also find novel contributions offering a diversity of language teaching contexts, learner populations, and topics in the theory and practice of second and foreign language teaching.

The book is ideal for use as supplemental reading in a wide variety of applied linguistics, second/foreign language education, TESOL, and instructional course design courses.
